Caroline was born about a mile from the Mississippi
Kinda like the kudzu, she grew up fast and pretty
A little bit of Memphis, little bit of New York City
All the boys would come around, blockin up her Daddys driveway
But she could spot a come-on coming from a mile away
She hears them callin but she aint fallin
She wants a love thats gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet dont touch the ground
Shes holdin out for a piece of heaven
Shes gonna fly and shes never comin down
Shes waitin tables at her Uncles Joes Bar and Diner
And it was powerful stuff when he pulled up in a big freight liner
He lit a cigarette and when their eyes met
She knew that one day he'd carry her away
She wants a love thats gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet dont touch the ground
Shes holdin out for a piece of heaven
Shes gonna fly and shes never comin down
She wants a love thats gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet dont touch the ground
Shes holdin out for a piece of heaven
Shes gonna fly and shes never comin down
She wants a love thats gonna last forever
She wants to stand where her feet dont touch the ground
Shes holdin out for a piece of heaven
Shes gonna fly and shes never comin down
She's gonna fly She's never comin down
Shes gonna fly
Shes never comin down
She gonna fly
Shes never comin down
